Telling veterans stories

Hoosiers have a long and proud history of serving our nation in times of war, and it is vitally important that we learn from the experiences of veterans. That is why I am proud to support the Veterans History Project through the Library of Congress.

This is a wonderful opportunity for family members of veterans, fellow veterans, or young people to interview a veteran of World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, or Persian Gulf wars, or the most recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

These histories are compiled through audio or video-recorded interviews, in addition to gathering original correspondence, photographs and diaries. I have interviewed several Indiana veterans for this project in the past, so I can attest that it is a rewarding experience to hear firsthand the tales of bravery and challenges faced while serving our country.

I encourage all Hoosier veterans to share their stories for this important archive. For more information on how to submit your story or to learn about how to interview a veteran in your community, visit www.loc.gov/vets or call my office at (317) 226-5555.
